| + | Microcontrollers are more restrictive versions of Computers. The key limitation is that they do not contain a slot for a [[item:hard_disk_drive|Hard disk drive]], and rely solely on a programmed [[item:eeprom|EEPROM]] for specific functionality. They can **not** interact with external components! | ||
| + | |||
| + | Microcontrollers can be built by placing a [[item:microcontrollercase|Microcontroller case]] in an [[block:assembler|Assembler]]. Higher tier [[item:microcontrollercase|Microcontroller cases]] can take more components and upgrades (as well as higher tier components and upgrades). Microcontrollers take a limited subset of upgrades, and do not contain Upgrade or Card container slots. [[item:graphics_card|Graphics cards]] cannot be placed into the expansion slots either. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The following code snippet illustrates one particular usage of Microcontrollers. The program detects redstone signals (requires a [[item:redstone_card|redstone card]]), and uses a [[item:piston_upgrade|piston upgrade]] to push a block. | ||
| + | ```lua | ||
| + | local r,p = component.proxy(component.list("redstone")()), component.proxy(component.list("piston")()) | ||
| + | |||
| + | while true do | ||
| + | computer.pullSignal(0.5) | ||
| + | if r.getInput(2) > 0 then | ||
| + | p.push() | ||
| + | end | ||
| + | end | ||
| + | ``` | ||
